Was looking at Polestar 2 at the weekend. Basically an electric v40 on steroids.
...Very silly car.
I have a BMW i3 and i am amazed at how good the charging infrastructure is, and its not just Tesla, which you cant use unless you have a Tesla. OK Scotland may have got a bit ahead of the curve on this but I have driven it from out side London to the north and had no problems getting hold of superchargers.
When looking at electric cars, it’s surprising how many still don’t support the use of the fast charging infrastructure and require slow charging.
Fine for a city car, but no good otherwise.

Agreed Adam, not sure I would buy one with my own money but it’s very tempting as a company car. Add the fact running costs etc are covered as well and it all adds up for me. Range isn’t an issue either as my commute is 80 miles a day no matter what depot I go to.
Range-wise, I'm sure it's fine 80% of the time. It's that time you want to make a journey longer than the range that the pre-trip planning would start to get pretty tedious.
There is that.....but we have Liz's car as well......If there is a monthly saving by taking one as a company car I think I will investigate further.
Zero BIK (for now, anyway), so if your company gives you enough to cover the costs I'd say you'd be quids in.
The Polestar does get good reviews - better to drive than the Tesla. Did you see the Carfection video?
